Golf Cruises
Scotland, Ireland, England and France all have some great courses including Royal Dornoch, Lahinch, Galway Bay, Wentworth, Sunningdale and Cap d’Agde, which should be enough to inspire and challenge any keen golfer. They also possess some magnificently scenic waterways, so why not combine the best of both worlds and book one of our unique, memorable golf cruises?
When you join this themed holiday, tee times can be arranged so that you have time to play a memorable round and still enjoy a relaxing cruise aboard your floating hotel with gourmet cuisine and fine wines.
A group may charter a barge for any date. Occasionally on specific hotel barges, individual cabin bookings may be made on specific dates where you will be able to join other like-minded people. If no dates are available you may be wait-listed until other passengers show an interest in a golf cruise.
Note: A minimum of 4 passengers on these charters are required to play golf.
Around half of the hotel barges in our fleet offer ‘golf plus cruise’ packages, so please click on the individual barge links to find out more.
